Default Music!!!

I have a 2019 Heritage Softail Classic, which I love everything about it except it has no music. Is there a good sound system out there that can be adapted to this bike?

I use S-Plug in-ear earplugs/speakers plugged in to my Sena system. Fully wireless, and the earplugs save what little hearing I have left. That connects to my GPS and iPhone, so I get tunes, calls, and nav, all without me being tethered to the bike with cables. Plus I'm not broadcasting my music to everyone around me, whether they want to hear it or not.

Bluetooth Pandora in your helmet. Audio on a bike is a waste of time and money. Unless you ride around real slow.

I also have a 2019 Heritage Softail and I installed a Reckless Motorcycle Fairing with stereo, amp and speakers and have no regrets. No problems hearing music at highway speeds. I tried many options and this works best for me. There is also the Kuryakyn Sound bar but I found many mixed reviews with most saying it's not too great at highway speeds. There are plenty of other options but I'm extremely happy with what I chose. With the fairing, not only did I get great audio but I also get increased wind protection (especially over the hands) and a different look.



Like I said I have no regrets.

Just a small question to the OP not to be an A-hole, but real curiousity. Why wouldnt you buy a street glide for the music. Its pretty much the same bike If you look at mmundoiii bike. He made the choice to get a front fairing with the music in it, and it looks good, probably sounds awesome. But he now has a street glide IMO. This is not a dig or flaming on my part, please dont take offense. I use Domio music device on my modular helmet. That thing is totally awesome and the sound is great

Yeah and it isnt the 80s where boom boxes were on every street, no one wants to hear Freebird at full blast at the redlight...

I just run a cardo in my helmet. I went with the deluxe and not the glide or a king, I dont want a fairing or a shield, and the softail rides and handles better then the touring bikes

I wear a full face helmet that has a Sena Bluetooth system in it. Works ok, sounds decent and lets me hear what's going on around me. If you ride with others that have Sena systems you can link them all up and talk to the other riders in your group.

Previously I used earbuds. The sound quality was better but I couldn't hear much of what was going on around me.
